INR 2 billion (around €28 million, US$36.5 million) was invested in the photovoltaic plant, which was built under the first phase of India’s Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission (JNNSM). The generated electricity will be sold to NTPC Vidyut Vyapar Nigam Limited under a 25 year PPA.

Around 100 permanent jobs are expected to be created via the crystalline silicon project, which was said to be realized in just 10 months.
